The Heir Apparent Keeps Failing to Save Himself

[Both reborn? No! It's a male lead who transmigrates into a book versus a female lead reborn, with a fierce push-and-pull and mutual redemption!]

Shen Qingci is reborn in the second year after marrying into the Changping Marquis household.

In her previous life, they drained her of her fortune and poisoned her to death.

In this life, she's cold and ruthless, and swears to make the whole household pay for what they did!

Poisoning, setting traps, seizing their wealth, ruining their careers… She lays a vast, inescapable net.

Then she suddenly realizes that her husband, the heir who deserves to die a thousand deaths, seems to have gone mad.

Not only does he evade her attempts on his life, he keeps looking at her with a mix of concern and regret. He even takes an arrow for her, gets poisoned, and risks his life to save her!

Gu Yunchen transmigrates into the scumbag heir he used to despise.

He's determined to save the beloved female lead, who dies in the original story,

but the Shen Qingci before him seems like a different person altogether. She's ruthless and keeps trying to kill him!

She chases, he flees, and he can't escape.

As she devotes herself to revenge and he fights for his life in this high-stakes battle of wits,

the truth gradually comes to light…

When he finally corners her against the wall, he says, “My lady, I'll help you get revenge. But could you point that blade somewhere else?”

The hand holding her sword trembles slightly. How is it that this enemy seems different from before?
